Xiaoping immediately said: "It's just a jade bracelet, my young lady will naturally lose it, do you want to slander people?" ”

The maid's mouth crooked: "It's just a jade bracelet?" This is a Burmese jade jade bracelet, and it is the kind with the best color, which is rare in the whole Jinling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"This young lady, I accidentally broke such a precious jade bracelet of yours, I'm really sorry, how much silver do I need to compensate?" Li Wanrou had heard of this kind of jadeite, and the price was expensive, so she apologized again, hoping to get the other party's understanding.

The woman looked at Li Wanrou, her appearance was no worse than hers, and she was even more angry in her heart, this jade pendant was just given to her by Zhou Guanxin, she liked this precious jade jade bracelet very much, but it was broken in a blink of an eye.

"My Zhang family is not short of silver, I want this jade bracelet, if you want to pay for it, you can pay me an identical jade bracelet."

"But it's broken, how can I compensate you for the same?" Li Wanrou looked at the jade bracelet broken into several pieces on the ground, and was embarrassed.

Many people surrounded and whispered, there were more people who sympathized with Li Wanrou, and everyone in Jinling knew that this domineering Miss Zhang had always been unreasonable.

Cao Ziguang, who was walking on the street, also saw the crowd gathered here, so he walked over and saw Li Wanrou through the cracks, he immediately pulled away from the crowd and walked in.

"Wanrou, why did you come to Jinling too?"

Seeing Cao Ziguang appear, Li Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiaoping immediately told Cao Ziguang about the matter.

Cao Ziguang looked at the woman, feeling a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that she was the Miss Zhang family who almost hit him with a carriage, and suddenly had no good feelings.

"Is that you?" The corners of Cao Ziguang's mouth flashed with disdain: "You want the same jade bracelet?" ”

This Miss Zhang is Zhang Yinbi, the daughter of Zhang Bawan, and she also recognized Cao Ziguang, but it was not the collision incident, but she only knew that there was such a person at the Jinling Poetry Conference, she was not interested in literature or anything, and admired Zhou Guanxin just because he was the young master of the Zhou family.

"You are Cao Ziguang of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Yinbi chuckled and said, "I heard that Datang was expelled from the Chamber of Commerce, do you want to compensate for her?" I want it to be exactly the same, but I can't afford you to pay for it, as long as she bows to me and admits her mistake, I don't want this jade bracelet. ”

When Li Wanrou heard this, she felt that this could calm things down, but it was not impossible, so she had the intention of bowing and apologizing.

This request was excessive, and Cao Ziguang stopped Li Wanrou from doing so.

"Within ten days, I will compensate you for a jade bracelet of the same color." Cao Ziguang picked up a piece of broken jade from the ground and said.

"Good. Miss Ben gives you ten days. There are not many people in Jinling who have this kind of jade jade bracelet. The corners of Zhang Yinbi's mouth raised a sneer, and she reminded: "If you can't compensate, you can help her bow and apologize to me." ”

"I'll pay you back."

Cao Ziguang pulled Li Wanrou and walked out of the crowd.

After returning to the main shop, Cao Ziguang immediately showed the broken jade to Zhang Lang, this guy had been in Jinling for a while, so he wanted to ask him if he knew where to get this jade bracelet.

Zhang Lang took a closer look and said, "Big brother, this is a good Burmese jadeite jade, Jinling is afraid that there are very few, I will go to various jewelry stores tomorrow to take a look." ”

Cao Ziguang nodded.

For three days, Zhang Lang did not find this jade bracelet in the jewelry store, but on the fourth day he brought back useful news. This jade bracelet also has a sister bracelet in an auction house, the color and workmanship are exactly the same, this one was won by Zhou Guanxin at that auction house for 3,800 taels, and the next auction will be three days later.

More than 3,000 taels can be photographed, which means nothing, Cao Ziguang's brows stretched for a while.

Li Wanrou was also much relieved to learn that there was a way to obtain it, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable for Cao Ziguang to apologize for her.

Jinling Fuya Auction House.

It is also the only auction house in Jinling, auctioning some rare items on weekdays, and the profit of selling things directly is much higher, the shopkeeper's surname is Zhao, he is a middle-aged man who is very good at making money, he originally ran a pawn shop, but later upgraded the pawn to an auction, and the more silver he earned.

The highlight of his auction today is an ancient sword, which he believes is enough to make a lot of money.

Every auction day, there are some dignitaries and dignitaries, rich sons and daughters are present, and it is inevitable that they will fight for their favorite items after seeing them, and often a thousand taels of items can be multiplied several times.

Cao Ziguang asked Zhang Lang to bring enough silver tickets and came to Fuya Auction House with Li Wanrou, and Yue Qingya and Yue Qinghan also followed to see the excitement, and several people asked for a box on the second floor, sat down to drink tea, and waited for the auction to start.

Cao Ziguang is very interested in the auction, and if there are any strange items today, he doesn't mind auctioning one or two more.

The box has a window facing the downstairs, so you can look directly at the items that appear on the auction table. Cao Ziguang took a sip of tea, tilted his head and glanced downstairs, but saw a Westerner wearing a tuxedo and a top hat walking in, and it was Lin Shuying and Lin Heshun who accompanied the foreigner who walked in.

The road is narrow! Cao Ziguang smiled slightly.

"Sister, look, that foreigner's clothes are so strange." Yue Qinghan immediately shouted.

Yue Qingya glanced up, feeling that the foreigner's clothes were too ugly compared to Huaxia clothes, and after seeing Lin Shuying again, her face sank and she didn't answer.

After a while, Cao Ziguang saw Zhou Guanxin walk in accompanied by Zhang Yinbi, this woman obviously knew that there was another jade bracelet, but she deliberately didn't say it, it was very hateful! It looks like there will be a tough battle in this auction today.

Some people with a bit of status choose to enter the box on the second floor, while those who watch the excitement or don't have much silver on them will stop in the hall downstairs. The Westerner also walked up to the second floor and entered the box next to Cao Ziguang, accompanied by Lin Shuying.

As more and more people entered, the auction began to get closer. Cao Ziguang withdrew his gaze from downstairs and looked at Li Wanrou beside her, her expression was complicated, and she seemed to be very reluctant to let Cao Ziguang bother for her.

And Cao Ziguang didn't take this matter to heart at all, compared to what he did for others, Li Wanrou should be considered very worry-free, what is it to spend some silver?

With the start of the auction, the downstairs was temporarily quiet, and the first item to be auctioned was a pair of calligraphy and paintings, according to the shopkeeper surnamed Zhao, it was the authentic work of Wu Daozi of the previous dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty did not appear in this history, but did there still appear such a person as Wu Daozi? Cao Ziguang looked downstairs, but he was not interested in collecting this calligraphy and painting.

The people vying for this calligraphy and painting are middle-aged nobles, and it seems that some people who have been precipitated over the years love this kind of item, while the young rich sons did not make a move.

In the next room, Lin Shuying didn't pay much attention to the items auctioned, if it weren't for this Mr. Smith's interest in coming, she wouldn't have come to this kind of place.

Smith, from Great Britain, was a successful Western businessman who brought several large orders to the Lin family, so he won Lin Shuying's full respect.

Smith smiled very strongly, and was slightly tempted by the calligraphy and painting just now, but his goal today was not this, so he didn't make a move.
